		Dear Sir,
			My Board has considered two applications, one
		from the Everton Shareholders Association and one from
		the Everton Shareholders' and Supporters' Federation,
		for permission to open a public subscription to comm-
		emorate the record now established by our goal-keeper.

			Two points have to be considered:-

			(a) The proposal must have the approval of
			    the Board.

			(b) and must have the sanction of the Football
			    League Management Committee.

			The Board has decided not to make application
		to the Football League Management Committee in either case
		for sanction to permit these. The Board feel this is not
		the appropriate time, and the club will, in due course, take
		up this matter so that all concerned may contribute to the
		outstanding service given by Edward Sagar.

			The Board appreciates the interest you are taking.

						Yours faithfully,
							E. Green
